Posted by writecdr on December 19th, 2019

Kickstarting your JEE exam preparation? Want to know how much time will it take to reach your goal? Well, there is no harm in looking for how much “minimum time” is required to study for JEE Mains and Advanced. But is there any “minimum” time required for a student to prepare for a competitive exam? Let’s find all the answers in the next few minutes! 

When are JEE Main and JEE Advanced conducted? 

The JEE Main exam is conducted in two sessions. The first session takes place in January and the second one in April. The students can sit in one or both sessions to gain a good rank in the JEE Main. The top 2, 24,000 students of JEE Main will be given a chance to compete in the JEE Advanced and find a seat in the prestigious IITs. The JEE Advanced is held in May. 

What do the IIT JEE Coaching Institutes suggest? 

The IIT coaching classes are running all over India in a full-fledged manner. These institutes have come up with various learning programs for students. Some programs are called “Foundation Classes” that are open for students from 6th grades to 10th grades. Those who want to begin their preparations early can enrol in such courses. 

Then there are “2-Year Classroom” programs for students of class 11. This gives students a good two year to prepare for the test. 

There is also a “1-Year Classroom” program started by many IIT JEE coaching institutes for students of class 12 that gives them one year to prepare for JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. 

Along with these courses, students can enrol in “test series”, “crash courses” and “revision sessions” that generally take 1-4 months depending upon the IIT coaching institutes. 

What does this suggest? 

We can see different options available for the students today to prepare for the JEE Mains and Advanced. Depending on how much a student wants to study and when they want to start their JEE exam preparation, they can enrol in a suitable course. This means if a student only wants to spend 3-4 months on JEE preparations, they can simply enrol in a crash course. 

What if a student does not want to join IIT JEE coaching? 

There is no minimum or maximum time limit for students who want to prepare for these exams on their own. If a student is dedicated enough they can start preparing for the entrance tests from class 9 or even class 7. Some students might only want to spend 2 months on the JEE exam preparation. 

What is the deciding factor for time requirement for JEE Main and JEE Advanced preparation? 

These entrance exams aim to test the aptitude, analytical skills and knowledge of the students. We all know that EVERY STUDENT IS DIFFERENT. Every student takes different amounts of time to understand a concept. Every student requires different amounts of practice and revisions. 

To prepare well for the massive competition and difficulty levels in these entrance exams of IIT, students have to prepare themselves as per the exam standards. Hence, every student must judge themselves, their capacities, and capabilities. 

If you are in classes 6 to 10 and you want to see how well you can read and learn science subjects then you must start now. This will give you clarity whether you should pursue the path to JEE or not. 

For those who are in classes 11 and 12, it is a "do or die" situation for you. So you need to decide the path right now and start working on your goal. As we always say, the earlier the better!

Students today can easily pursue online classes for IIT JEE along with school and hence keep preparing for the test as much as they want. Online learning reduces the pressure and gives them time to prepare well for the entrance exams. 

So, how can students prepare more in less time? 

The best method is to get enrolled in IIT JEE coaching. Seeking guidance from an expert enables the students to take the right steps in the right direction. Many times students waste their time in finding the right study material or a learning method that suits them. 

In IIT coaching classes, there are experienced faculties who can easily provide them with good study material and introduce them to effective learning styles. Students can find immense motivation and strategies to prepare well for the exam based on their current knowledge and learning gaps. 

Key Takeaways

One cannot define a “minimum” time for JEE exam preparation. It all depends on the student's learning needs. However, it is advised that students should start early to avoid a panic situation and nervousness at the time of the exam.
